Aura absorption

Aura absorption
Linda's hand glows blue as she uses her power on Jason Welkes.
Held by:	Linda Tavara
Ability to:	Take the lives of others

Linda's ability appears to be the ability to take the lives of others. Unrealized comments by Linda have led many to believe that it is also the ability to absorb the powers of other evolved humans by physical contact.

Characters

• Linda Tavara is the only character known to have this ability.

Limits

Linda has always been shown touching her victim to have her ability work. As she holds onto her victim with one hand, her other hand glows blue as she moves it towards her victim's face. She has used her ability with both hands, but has never been shown using it with both at the same time.

Examples

• 
  Linda tries to use her ability on Daniel Linderman but fails.
  (War Buddies, Part 7)
• 
  Earlier, she successfully used her ability on Jason Welkes...
• 
  ...and on her informant.
  (Bounty Hunter)
